A domestic argument between a couple turned violent on the Pattaya beachfront, shocking onlookers on Wednesday evening, February 21.

Responding promptly to distress signals, authorities and rescue teams discovered a 53 year old Thai man, Sommai, gravely injured and bleeding profusely near a trash receptacle, the aftermath of a fiery altercation with his spouse. Concerned bystanders had congregated around him, offering support as he awaited aid. Sommai was swiftly transported to Pattaya City Hospital in Soi Buakhao for urgent medical intervention.

Eyewitnesses vividly recounted the sequence of events, detailing how the dispute erupted when Sommai, inebriated and reclined on the sandy shore, was stirred by his wife’s attempts to rouse him. What ensued was a torrent of heated exchanges that rapidly spiralled out of control, reaching a crescendo when his wife shoved him forcefully, propelling him into the garbage bin and causing severe head injuries, reported Pattaya Mail.

In a moment of sheer frustration, she bolted from the scene before authorities could intervene.
